Kenya has reopened its airspace to flights to and from Somalia a month after announcing the suspension for a three-month period, easing the travel nightmare for businesspeople and diplomats.

The decision, which was reached on Thursday after what authorities in Nairobi said were “intercessions made” for the resumption, signals progress towards restoring broken ties.
